Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

Created on: Mar 15, 2010 5:52 PM

Created by: Doug B

Is there any way to perform a standalone (command-line) build of a Service Assembly Deployable Archive?

In my local help files, I found a reference to this process:

JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar ENV_HOME/BusinessStudio/startup.jar
[-clean] -refresh -application com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive
-data "workspacepath" -saf "serviceassemblypath" -archive "archivepath"

which seems to reference an Ant task. Is there any documentation for how I can use that Ant task directly? This documented approach also claims to require the Business Studio project to be open, etc., which we also really don't want.

Ideally, we'd be able to build on a system that doesn't even have BS installed, just some requisite jars copied over. But even if we have to install BS, we certainly don't want to have to have it running to perform automated builds.

(I did try running that command from the command line, but it's complaining about not being able to find my saf file, even though I fully-specified the path to it. There are spaces in some components of the path name, but I put double-quotes around those paths and even tried with the directory short-names.)

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

This is how I get it done, and it works for me. Can you try this(if you havent already):

Scripted packaging:

java -jar <tibco-amx-home>\BusinessStudio\startup.jar -refresh -application com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive -data "<workspace folder in these quotes>" -saf ".saf path in these quotes" -archive "final desired archive path in these quotes"

This should work. Try running the command from "amx\tibcojre\1.5.0\bin". For ex:

C:\tibcoamx\tibcojre\1.5.0\bin>java -jar C:\tibcoamx\BusinessStudio\startup.jar -refresh -application com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive -data "C:\Documents and Settings\sekulkar\workspace" -saf "C:\Documents and Settings\sekulkar\workspace\com.tibco.amx.sample.helloworld.simple.java.soa\Dep loyment Packages\com.tibco.amx.sample.helloworld.simple.java.soa.saf" -archive "C:\Documents and Settings\sekulkar\workspace\com.tibco.amx.sample.helloworld.simple.java.soa\Dep loyment Packages\com.tibco.amx.sample.helloworld.simple.java.soa.zip"

Now to answer rest of your questions:

1. There is no need to keep the BS project open.

2. IMO, you can not use the ant task directly.

3. Theoretically, yes. If you have the required jars copied over, it should work. What these jars are is something we will need to figure out. Right now, to get to a point where your SA is created without an issue, install the design time component of AMX and then use the command line option.

HTH,

Setu

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

First, thanks for the replies.

Next, I wonder if my problem with the command-line attempt is that my Project is not in the same directory structure as my Workspace. Workspace is

"C:\Documents and Settings[user]\tibco-business-studio-workspace"

but Project and SAF are at

"c:\projects\ca-dmv\WSI-EmailService-SOA\Deployment Packages\WSI-EmailService-SOA.saf"

I've tried with both the workspace and the "c:\projects\ca-dmv\WSI-EmailService-SOA" directory as the -data parameter. In either case, the error is

(And if I copy/paste that exact path to the SAF file, it is correct)

Yes, thats the way to do it. Provide the complete path.

I did provide the complete paths, but received the specified error.

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

This is happening again on another system on which the same SAF and command worked fine earlier today.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Service Assembly resource not found: /tmp/WSI-OL-SOA/Deployment Packages/WSI-OL-SOA.saf
at com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive.getSe rviceAssembly(AMXCreateDeployableArchive.java:127)
at com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive.runTa sk(AMXCreateDeployableArchive.java:102)
at com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive.runTa sk(AMXCreateDeployableArchive.java:88)
at com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive.runTa sk(AMXCreateDeployableArchive.java:77)
at com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive.run(A MXCreateDeployableArchive.java:58)

 But the file clearly exists in that directory (and hasn't moved since it worked earlier today).

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

Hmmm... it seems that I need to be in the base directory of the Project or tell Ant to use that directory as its starting directory for this to work. Running the exact same command while sitting in another directory reports the referenced problem.

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

Bah. Happens too while I'm sitting in the correct base directory but referencing an Ant build file that's in another directory. Copying that same Ant file into the current project root directory and running it works fine.

So this task has some dependency on being run from within the project's root directory, despite the parameters seeming to indicate that you could run it from anywhere.

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

works for me.. if the location of your project is outside your workspace, you can specify the relative path to the amx project, but you need to have that project imported without copyinng it into your workspace..I think you need not install Business Studio, just copy the folder .metadata and it will work..

for example::

java -jar %TIBCO_HOME%\BusinessStudio\startup.jar -refresh -application
com.tibco.matrix.ant.task.service.jbi.assembly.AMXCreateDeployableArchive -data C:\SIA -saf
"/SessionManagementService/Deployment Packages/Utilities/eCommerce/SessionManagement/SessionManagement.saf"
-archive "%AMXADMIN_HOME%\samples\SessionManagement\SessionManagement.zip"

Re: Standalone Deployment Archive build (preferably with Ant)

Is it significant that you used Windows path separators and the drive in the path for -data and -archive, but not for -saf? I'd bet I've never tried that particular combination.

(I definitely get different results when running from different directories or with different Ant starting directories.)
